As part of the Washington Seminar trip we got to go on excursions to Valley Forge, Philadelphia and later Gettysburg. Before going, I had no idea what happened at Valley Forge so it was really interesting. What I got from it was that it was the place where General Washington camped for the first winter of the Revolutionary War. It was a terrible, wet winter and many lives were lost.

The next morning we went to Philadelphia. I had been there a few times with my family but it was fun to just want around and explore the city. It is amazing to think of all the amazing things that occurred in that city and it was especially neat to think that it was all inspired and orchestrated by the Lord. There is no way this country could have been founded and established, if not by the hand of God.

Carter recommended this cheesesteak place and it was delicious!
